Monday night, at Charleston, of the direc-
tors of the BlackviIle and Newberry rail

engagements this matter will be somewhat
delayed Mr. George F. Wagner, Presi-

lahassee and brownsville railroads. The
two branches from Tallahassee and Month
cello will reach a junction at the State line
thence the road will run direct to Thomas
vile. The iron has already been shipped
and the road will be speedily completed.
The road will ultimately form a part of the
short line from the West to Florida. The
new road from Birmingham to Columbus
will be extended down to Albany, and this
will then be the shortest and most direct
route to the West and Northwest Col
Papy is to be congratulated upon his new
position, and the Savannah, Florida and
Western upon securing the services of one
of the ablest and most experienced railroad
men of Florida.

Messrs. Freid & Hicks, proprieters of the
Market Restaurant, very kindly sent to the

boat, except that he belonged to Augusta.

ANOTHER DAY OF ROASTING.
Yesterdays High Temperature to be
Repeated To-Day.

Fans and iced drinks of various kinds
played their part yesterday, but the per-
spring Savannahians derived but little
comfort from them. The sun poured its
pitiless rays down in hot abundance, and
every stone reflected back an increased de-
gree of heat. The thermometer began rising
early and reached the top notch at
o. The average was So being Z higher
than the average for the last fifteen years.
All the stations in the district report high
temperature, the highest in the country.
Smithville bore off the prize with a plucky
thermometer that rose to l03'. The mini
mum record there was 73', making the wide
range of 30, quite unprecedented, Jesup

IN NEW QUARTERS.
The New York Pier of the Ocean
Steamship Company.

The Ocean Steamship Company commenced
using a portion of their new pier in New
York this week. 1t is great Improvement
over the old one, and the accommodations
for all departments of their immense bust
ness are ample. The structure is a
double-decker, with the offices above.
On the pier floor it is di-
vided off by central open passage way,
so two vessels can load or unload at the
same time, one at each side of the pier. 1t
is well arranged for quick work in this re-
spect, and has all the facilities needed.
The offices are all upstairs, save that of the
receiving freight clerks. The passengers
ascend at the street end of the
building, procure their tickets, and
descend to the vessel from the
river end, thus saving the old-time perilous
journey from the entrance to the vessel
through the tangle of teams usually on the
pier. This alone is a great benefit, and one
the traveller will feel thankful for. The
work is not nearly all completed yet, and
will not be finished before Sept 20.

A GOOD GAME FORFEITED.
The Amateurs Refuse to Play the
Ninth Inning.

The most interesting game of base ball
that has been played in this city during the
present season took place at the park yester-
day between the Amateurs and Warrens.
The game was skillfully played and the err
rors were comparatively few. The score
stood to at the end of the eighth inning,
and it was so dark then that the Amateurs
refused to play and the umpire gave the
game to the Warrens on a score of 9 to O..
The score of the eight innings was as fol-
lows:

SEVENTEEN GOOSE EGGS,
New Orleans Wins a Game in One
Inning-ArreStS for SUNDAY PLAYING

new Orleans WINS a Game In one
Inning-Arrests for Sunday Playing.
MEMPHIS, TENN, Aug 16.-Owing to the
threatening aspect of the weather the at
tendance this afternoon at the game be-
tween Memphis and New Orleans was small.
Just before the game was called Dave Force
was led out into the field, and presented with
a handsome silk umbrella, the gift of the
Memphis team Tom Brennan, man
ager of the New Orleans Club,
made the presentation speech, which
Force replied to in his usual happy style.
The game was close and exciting up to the
sixth inning neither club having scored,
but in the last half of the fatal sixth. Powell
led off with home ran, knocking the ball
over the right field fence. This broke the
ice, and when the inning was finished, New
Orlea had scored six runs, due to the
punching of hits and errors of Andrews and
Doyle. These were the only runs made
during the game. McVey, of the visitors,
carried off the honors by his brilliant work
in centre field, capturing three hits after
long runs, each of which seemed good for
three bags. Powell in right field, also did
brilliant work. The score by innings and
summary follow:
Memphis. ......... 0 0 0 o. 0
Battenes-Aydelotte and Vaughan for New
Orleans, McKeogh and Crotty for Memphis.
Base hits-New Orleans 10, Memphis Z.
Errors-Memphis ?, New Orleans 3.
ARRESTED FOR SUNDAY PLAYING.
Immediately after the game two Deputy
Sherlffs appeared upon the grounds and ar
rested both teams that had participated in
the Sunday game. The arrest was made on
bench warrant issued by Judge Dubose,
of the Criminal Court, on complaint of a
minister of a colored church in the vicinity
of the grounds. All the boys were released
on $500 bonds EACH which were promptly
furnished. They are to appear in
court tomorrow morning. Ewing, the
crack pitcher of the New Orleans club, who
lost the game Saturday, disocated his
shoulder, which had to be reset yesterday.
The accident happened while practicing be-
fore the game was called on Saturday, and
he pitched six innings while suffering, not
realizing what was the matter with him.
He left for New Orleans this afternoon, and
will take a rest for two or three weeks
